After reading Stressed Out Girls the beginning of this year, this book left me refreshed. It justified the new-age, driven, female perfection we see so often. Let's face it, almost all my AP class is girls.
An alpha girl"
"1. a GPA of 3.8 or higher
2. At least one leadership position ........
3. Participation in extra curricular activities, in or out of school, for a min. of 10h a week
4. High achievement motivation score..
5. High self-rating for dependability...."
While many books, especially pop-psych books, leave females feeling victim of their time and power, this one left me hopeful. The working definition of feminism (as more equal than overpowering and "damn the man") and the role of positive media were pleasant surprises.
Yes, another psych book for Abbie's reviews.. but this one makes you kinda smile, and feel more normal for wanting to take over the world....

I have a feeling we'll be seeing a lot of psych books out of you this year...
I am sort of curious, though... does the book promote the perfectionism? Or justify it? Or just propose some theories for its origin? It definitely sounds like an interesting book, though...
I think it is an interesting comment that a word like "feminism" can have a meaning that leads towards equality rather than superiority. The name in and of itself is a classifier. My hopeless romantic side says we need a new word for all those things we talk about.
